Application filed April 2, 1890. Serial No. 346,323- (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS ROSSER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bellaire, in the county of Belmont and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Grates andFlues; and Idohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to fire-place fronts for open front of fire-placeheaters, and has for its object to construct the mantel and thedeflectorout of a single piece of sheet metal, as hereinafter will bemore fully described and claimed, and which is shown in the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1 is'a front view, parts being broken away, ofa fire-place heater embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontalsection on the line X X of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on theline Y Y of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the chimney-top.

A represents the hearth of steel, above which the heater is located. Theframe Bis supported at a suitable distance above the bed in any desiredmanner, preferably on the back O and the mantel D. This frame is open intermediate its endsi. e., there is an unobstructed space 1) between thebars I) b, on which the grate E rests. This grate is thickened midway ofits ends and limited in its movements by the bars 19 b which are higherthan the bars I) b. The lugs e, projecting up from the grate, aredesigned to receive the 5 inner end of the poker when it is desired toshake the fire, the poker being thrust through openings f in the frontgrate, which is fastened at its ends to the front D. The back G andsides g g of the fire-boxes are brick, and 0 the deflector H ispreferably of metal, although any suitable material will answer equallywell.

The chimney J is tile and closed at the top, being provided in its sideswith openings J 45 for the escape of smoke and products of combustion.

The front D is of steel, and the part out therefrom immediately over thefire-chamber is turned up to form the deflector d.

The ash-pan K is perforated to permit the entrance of air.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-- The herein-described metal mantel having aportion corresponding with the position of the fire-box cut therefromand bent up, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in 60 presence of twowitnesses. Y

THOMAS ROSSER.
